Abstract

A tag management system in a computer data network can be used to manage one or more tag configurations with templates. A template may enable efficient tag configuration by causing presentation of an improved user interface that facilitates user-specified mappings between a custom content site and predefined tag management attributes. By completing a template, which may depend on other templates or have templates that depend on it, the tag management system can automatically deploy complex tag management configurations to track end user interactions over a data network.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
under control of a hardware processor:
presenting, in a user interface, a plurality of input elements and textual information requesting input for the plurality of input elements, the plurality of input elements being associated with tag management for a content page and comprising a first input element associated with an event identifier, wherein the plurality of input elements comprises a second input element associated with a page identifier for the content page;
receiving first user input via the plurality of input elements including the first input element, the first user input indicating at least an event name;
receiving second user input via the plurality of input elements including the second input element, the second user input indicating at least a page name for the content page, wherein the page name identifies a home page for a content site;
generating a plurality of tag management attributes from the first user input, the plurality of tag management attributes comprising the event name and the page name, wherein generating the plurality of tag management attributes comprises:
generating an event attribute with the event name; and
generating a home page attribute with the page name; and

associating the plurality of tag management attributes with a tag object configured to gather interaction data indicative of user interactions by an end user with the content page.

2. The method of claim 1 , comprising:
in response to receiving the second user input, generating a frequent home page visitor rule.

3. The method of claim 2 , comprising:
receiving first interaction data; and
applying the frequent home page visitor rule to the first interaction data, wherein applying the frequent home page visitor rule comprises:
determining that frequent home page visit logic is satisfied from the home page attribute and the first interaction data; and
assigning, based on determining the frequent home page visit logic is satisfied, a trait to the end user that indicates the end user is a frequent home page visitor.

4. The method of claim 3 , wherein determining that the frequent home page visit logic is satisfied comprises:
determining that a number of visits to the home page by the end user exceeds a threshold.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of tag management attributes comprise an end user attribute.

6. A system comprising:
non-transitory physical computer storage; and
a hardware processor in communication with the non-transitory physical computer storage, wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute software instructions to:
present, in a user interface, a plurality of input elements and textual information requesting input for the plurality of input elements, the plurality of input elements being associated with tag management for a content page and comprising:
a first input element associated with a page identifier for the content page, and
a second input element associated with an event identifier;

receive first user input via the plurality of input elements including the first input element, the first user input indicating at least a page name for the content page;
receive second user input via the plurality of input elements including the second input element, the second user input indicating at least an event name;
generate a plurality of tag management attributes from the first user input and the second user input, the plurality of tag management attributes comprising the page name and the event name, wherein generating the plurality of tag management attributes comprises generating an event attribute with the event name;
associate the plurality of tag management attributes with a tag object configured to gather interaction data indicative of user interactions by an end user with the content page;
receive first interaction data for the end user; and
apply a rule to the first interaction data, wherein applying the rule comprises:
determining from the event attribute and the first interaction data that an event occurred; and
in response to determining that the event occurred, assigning a first trait to the end user.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the page name identifies a cart page for a content site, and wherein generating the plurality of tag management attributes comprises:
generating a cart page attribute with the page name.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute the software instructions to further:
receive second interaction data; and
apply a window shopper rule to the second interaction data, wherein applying the window shopper rule comprises:
determining a lack of purchases by the end user from the cart page attribute and the second interaction data;
determining a number of visits to the content page by the end user; and
assigning, based on determining the lack of purchases and the number of visits to the content page by the end user, a second trait to the end user that indicates the end user is a window shopper.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute the software instructions to further:
determine a count of end users that are assigned the second trait indicating the end user is the window shopper;
generate a window shopper visualization from the count of traits; and
present, in the user interface, the window shopper visualization.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein determining from the event attribute and the first interaction data that the event occurred comprises:
determining that the first interaction data contains a string value associated with the event attribute.

11. The system of claim 6 , wherein the event corresponds to a log out event and the first trait corresponds to a complete visit trait.

12. A system comprising:
non-transitory physical computer storage; and
a hardware processor in communication with the non-transitory physical computer storage, wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute software instructions to:
present, in a user interface, a plurality of input elements and textual information requesting input for the plurality of input elements, the plurality of input elements being associated with tag management for a content page and comprising an input element associated with an event identifier;
receive user input via the plurality of input elements including the input element, the user input indicating at least an event name;
generate a plurality of tag management attributes from the user input, the plurality of tag management attributes comprising the event name, wherein generating the plurality of tag management attributes comprises generating an event attribute with the event name;
associate the plurality of tag management attributes with a tag object configured to gather interaction data indicative of user interactions by an end user with the content page;
receive first interaction data for the end user; and
apply a rule to the first interaction data, wherein applying the rule comprises:
determining from the event attribute and the first interaction data that an event occurred; and
in response to determining that the event occurred, assigning a trait to the end user.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein determining from the event attribute and the first interaction data that the event occurred comprises:
determining that the first interaction data contains a string value with the event name.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the hardware processor is configured to execute the software instructions to further:
receive second interaction data;
